The two Garnierites arrived today. I was pleasantly surprised by their size and weight and beauty. You have some of the best crystals available in your shop. Thank you for everything including the fast and free shipping, the paperwork, your great customer service, and the tea. I always love the tea you send with each order. I think that’s so cool that you send the tea. It’s delicious.

Supply Chain for Tumbled Garnierite

This Garnierite comes from artisanal miners working the Valozoro lateritic nickel deposit, in Haute Matsiastra, Madagascar.  Garneirite is fragile and has to be mined using hand-tools, while Nickel mining is typically done on an industrial-scale as a pit mine.

This lapidary drum tumbles stones in Cape Town, South Africa. It is a family business, founded by a father and passed on to his sons. Factory workers have safe conditions and are paid fairly. The lapidary sells primarily at two gemshows, one in the United States and the other in France.

I have been doing business with this source since 2014. They are the oldest tumbling company in the world and have more varieties, in more sizes, than any other known source. The company started in California in the 1950s and was eventually bought by a British immigrant who had young sons. Eventually the company moved to South Africa in order to be closer to the source of their best-selling stone and to have the legal rights to export it. The company is now run by the sons and their childhood best friend.

The current owners personally visit many small and large mines. To connect with artisanal miners in sub-Sahara Africa, they work with local Gem Dealers who travel far into the bush to buy from part-time miners. The majority of these Gem Dealers are women. Some, but not all, of their stones are labeled with country-of-origin. For those that aren’t, I ask the owners directly. As I’ve learned more about mining practices in individual countries, I have become increasingly selective about what I will purchase from them. However, they remain my preferred source for most of the stones I sell from sub-Sahara Africa.

Garnierite Healing, Mineralogy, and History

Published March 2021  •  Updated September 2025  •  Read Time: 7 minutes
Garnierite is a beautiful ore rock for Nickel and Platinum.  Most Garnierite comes from industrial Nickle mines, but it is occasionally found by artisanal miners. While it can be found in a few locations, most of it comes from New Caledonia, a French territory in the South Pacific.  Garnierite has a delicate pastel green color that comes from the Nickle content.  It is sometimes sold under as “Green Moonstone”, because it occasionally has a subtle iridescence, but it is not at all related to other varieties of Moonstone.  Garnierite has a refreshing energy that helps us feel connected to the natural world, empowered and optimistic.

    Thank you! The package arrived in pristine condition. When I unwrapped the protective shipping material and had the bag in my hand, I got a bit light-headed, but that was fine after I absorbed and grounded the energy. I’m very happy to add them all to my collection and to my life.

  3. Beth S (Kentucky)

    Its soft green has a delightful translucence and shimmer, yet not ethereal. There is something wonderfully, gently earthy about it, too. This isn’t a crystal with an energy that jumps right out at me but one that invites me in to learn more, and I look forward to that journey.

  4. Justin W. (Georgia)

    I’m extremely pleased, this may be my best purchase from you yet. I absolutely love the Garnierite…it has such a quirky shape and intriguing, Garnieriteish coloration, with exactly the sort of wise old energy I asked for. Thank you very much for these great selections, they are wonderful additions to my collection.
